My Piece

I got into running because i want to lose weight and be fit. I achieved both and got more as an added bonus. I now appreciate the outdoors, have developed a fondness for running and mtbiking and especially, I gained new friends who share the same interests. You see, there's something about the outdoors that you will never get to know unless you experience it. I am just too glad that I did and will still do in hopefully many years to come.

Many underprivileged Filipino children run, play, and go to school with no shoes to cover their feet. How could they emerge as tomorrow’s champions, when at present, every little step they take is already a challenge?

RUN TO HELP OTHERS RUN FOR THEIR DREAMS

The plight of the shoeless children was what moved the MILO® Marathon to spearhead “Help Give Shoes” in 2010. The country’s biggest race tapped its huge participant base to support the cause. For every runner that signed up, a portion of the registration fee went to a fund. In the end, MILO® matched the total amount collected and purchased 4,200 brand new pairs of running shoes for indigent school children nationwide.

RUN FOR 10,000 MORE

Like a champion who’d always break his personal best, the National MILO® Marathon aimed to surpass its 2010 achievements. Starting 2011, MILO® Marathon has upped its commitment from 4,200 to 10,000 pairs of shoes for 100 school children in 100 public schools all over the country

Running Quote

“The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed.” - Jacqueline Gareau
